The Báb

THE glory of Him Whom God shall make manifest is
immeasurably above every other glory, and His majesty is
far above every other majesty. His beauty excelleth every
157
other embodiment of beauty, and His grandeur immensely
exceedeth every other manifestation of grandeur. Every
light paleth before the radiance of His light, and every other
exponent of mercy falleth short before the tokens of His
mercy. Every other perfection is as naught in face of His
consummate perfection, and every other display of might is
as nothing before His absolute might. His names are
superior to all other names. His good-pleasure taketh
precedence over any other expression of good-pleasure.
His pre-eminent exaltation is far above the reach of every
other symbol of exaltation. The splendour of His appearance
far surpasseth that of any other appearance. His divine
concealment is far more profound than any other concealment.
His loftiness is immeasurably above every other
loftiness. His gracious favour is unequalled by any other
evidence of favour. His power transcendeth every power.
His sovereignty is invincible in the face of every other
sovereignty. His celestial dominion is exalted far above
every other dominion. His knowledge pervadeth all created
things, and His consummate power extendeth over all
beings.
